get out of bed! do the things! own your life!

 With Easter, usually comes the madness of Spring Break. Mike's family usually visits South Carolina around their Spring Break, and it just so happened to work out that we could drive the seven hours to meet them for a little Spring Break vacations ourselves. 

We stayed in an air bnb at Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, which definitely makes you feel like you're out on a beachy island, with not a whole lot around. The air bnb was a beautiful coastal home, 5 minutes walk from the beach.

But I did have my first Taco Bell in about 4 years, which was exciting! 
We finally made it pretty late that evening, and went to bed immediately. The next day, the weather was terrible. It was rainy and extremely windy, with highs in the 50s. We tried to make the most of it by just pretending it wasn't happening with a beach walk.We also went out for a few Southern meals to pass the rainy time. We visited Raising Canes -But the real winner in my book was Vicious Biscuit, where we had the fat boy.
A buttermilk biscuit, crispy fried chicken breast, our signature pimento cheese with Vicious spicy honey drizzle.
and then we tried BKedShop, where we had an orange-rhubarb donut and the real winner, a blueberry-lavendar latte. 
The other dining adventure was at Poe's Tavern, where the onion straws were so good. 
There is no shortage of wildlife on the isle. We saw soo many turtles, and quite a few alligators!We also were lucky enough to see some dolphins swimming near us.
And we can't forget the hot tub time!
It was a nice trip to get away for a minute, and Mike was sad to be driving home. We did our little stop off for some Florida orange juice to cheer him up, and it won't be long before we see them all again.Back home in Orlando we attended the Seven Seas Food Festival at SeaWorld and got our punch lanyard fill of all the tasty treats.
